The workshop will be held at the school in Manchester from 9 a.m. to noon on Aug. 7. It is designed to provide curriculum ideas and discussion points for teachers and school media advisers. Registration is $30. Register at www.loebschool.org or by calling 627-0005.

The workshop will be led by attorney Gregory V. Sullivan, who has argued before the New Hampshire Supreme Court in several landmark First Amendment and public access cases.

The session is supported by New Hampshire’s Constitution Day essay program, which includes nine newspapers. It will provide teachers with information for general studies on the Constitution and include discussion about next fall’s statewide Constitution Day essay contest question.
